RSP GmbH, headquartered in Saalfeld in the heart of Germany, has been manufacturing equipment for suction excavators with, 2,3 or 4 axle frames for 25 years. “Since 1993 we have developed a deep know-how in the technical field of suction technology fans, so much so that our system is patented internationally. What characterises us is our high level of personalisation in our solutions, with an ability to adapt to any type of truck”, says Lisa Schall, Head of Marketing at RSP GmbH. “In addition to our standard range we have models dedicated to both specialised and also highly customised applications. Technological innovation and processes, high quality products and attention to customer needs are the values that have always inspired our production and made us renowned around the world, in various industrial sectors, from civil construction to urban building sites and from the extraction industry to steel mills”.
Compressed air is crucial in this type of application. A suction excavator uses air to move materials and is the preferred method in all areas where the need for minimal environmental impact would prohibit the use of hydraulic excavation technologies. The amount of air required is considerable, in relation to the enormous difference between the weight of the air and the material to be sucked out. The Mattei compressors are used for the cleaning of the enormous dust filters, as well as to feed the pneumatic controls and the functioning of other tools. One is the air lance, which, thanks to its compressed air precision nozzle, perforates the ground, leaving the debris to then be sucked up by means of a trunk-like tube and fan: “To increase the performance of our vehicles it is essential that the cleaning of the filters fine mesh is continuous and effective. This is made possible thanks to the work of the compressors that guarantee a continuous and impeccable aspiration. In addition, Mattei compressors increase the overall efficiency of our systems, as they allow more material to be vacuumed in a set time”.
“We purchased our first Mattei compressors, the M86 and M111 models with hydraulic drive, in 2000 and from then we never looked away from rotary vane technology which had us convinced of its great reliability. Other advantages are the compactness and the self-regulating capabilities of the compressor that do not require the presence of further cumbersome tanks. Owing to this, the installation and subsequent maintenance operations of the machines, in the small spaces of the suction excavators, are easier and faster. Finally, the low rotation speeds and the reduced number of moving parts guarantee the vehicles quiet operation and reduces noise pollution, which is especially appreciated when working in urban areas”.
Over the years RSP has grown steadily and today, in addition to its headquarters in Thuringia, it now has two branches in France and the UK and a total of 250 employees. “Thanks to a network of distributors all over the world we have a turnover of around 40 million Euros with 80% coming from exports. The excellence of the results achieved is to be shared with innovative partners such as Mattei and their compressors, whose reliability and efficiency have been tested and well appreciated over time”, concludes Lisa Shall.
From Issue 12, Vane Magazine, September 2018
Mattei offers a wide range of vane compressor models that perfectly meet the specific needs of the transport industry.
The reliability of Mattei compressors, the high quality standards of the delivered compressed air and the compliance with the industry regulations, make them ideal to be used in the healthcare and pharmaceutical industry.
Reduced operating costs, environmental sustainability and extreme purity of the air supplied make Mattei compressors suitable for all processes in the food industry.
All you need is an oil quality sensor and SIM card within the control panel to have real-time access to the health of your rotary vane compressor from anywhere in the world.
Maxima 75 and Optima 60 compressors are used in China in the production of bottle tops for the Italian brand Pelliconi, where the exclusive Maxi P-26 is produced.
The company was recognised at the Le Fonti Innovation Awards for its commitment to combining both environmental sustainability and energy saving.
Commercial vans and short-haul trucks dominate today´s urban landscape and represent the fastest growing sector of road traffic in much of Europe. Vans offer more cargo loading-space, easy manoeuvrability and better fuel efficiency, at lower prices than traditional lorries and trucks.
All the pneumatic equipment at the French plant of the world leader in steam technology and thermal energy management are powered by Mattei compressors. Reliability and efficiency are the main reasons for the continued success of this partnership.
Compressed air is vital for industry as it drives many production facilities and pieces of equipment. Its use is responsible for more than 10% of industrial energy consumption, meaning the choice of compressor becomes essential when looking to maintain control of energy costs. The English company Luxfer Gas Cylinders is an excellent example of obtaining efficiency in this regard.
